Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
1. Between 1860 - 1920, over 25 million immigrants to New York harbor were mostly from Southern & Eastern Europe. They came for political and economic reasons. Irish Potato famine was a push - factor. They entered via Ellis Island and settled in Northeast cities. By 1900, New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia had over one million people each. The Age of Urbanization began as cities grew to meet population demands, leading to various problems. Immigrants faced discrimination, took low - paying jobs, often earning $1 to $2 for a 10 - hour day and working 6 days a week.
2. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) in 1886 was a labor union group. It aimed to improve working conditions for the working class. It consisted of skilled workers, had a smaller membership, and used collective bargaining and strikes as tactics and had some success in getting higher wages and shorter work weeks.
